And I didn't have a clue what our painting would be. The Collective Art Market, here in Lloydminster, is hosting a Sip and Paint Night and asked if I would facilitate it. I said "Yes", then Dawn asked me what we would paint.

I had the hardest time coming up with a project. I was brainstorming with my husband the other morning, and I said I wanted it to represent springtime. We live in Canada, on the prairies, and winter is long. I said Tulips, and my husband suggested clocks. Click!!! Put them together. Yeah. Then he went to the store and bought me two bunches of tulips.

Yesterday, we walked out into the frozen lake. Our friends and my husband did a little ice fishing and I visited. Then we had a Bon fire and roasted hot dogs for supper. Mmm. This morning we woke up to snow. Now, we will have to pack up and head home because my husband, Roy, does snow removal.

This weeks pet is Cesar. His puppy picture is so sweet. Unfortunately he had an autoimmune disorder, and passed away. He had a blue eye and s green eye. Jennah, his owner told me that she read that the Native Americans believed the different eye color in dogs meant they had "ghost eyes" that one eye could see heaven and the other Earth.

I am thrilled that I was able to post every day, even with 8 days with 2 busy grandkids, a weekend in Edmonton, and few days at the cabin.

I learned a few things over the last 30 days, as well.

1. I can be much more organized and productive if I try.

2. I need more than 5 hours of sleep.

3. People love, love, love their dogs.

4. After 28 dogs, I still have trouble rendering a dog's nose properly.

5. I truly loved connecting with people, hearing so many stories of love and rescue and how important pets are to a family.

About Me

I have been an artist all my, growing up in a family of many artists. I have painted professionally since 2001, when I quit my banking job to "paint the town" I am inspired by nature; by the way a tree twists, or the colours of the sky, or the way a shadow falls on a leaf. Whether a new idea comes to me during meditation or brainstorming with a client, it is thrilling to me!
